If you dont want to tier up quickly , dont play for credits , or play higher tiered players . Start playing stroke play practice rounds , and get your XP points that way. Put your time in , and learn the game. I took my time , and now I`m level 94 T/M , and just a few points away from Legend . I have some of the top clubs , and have never come up short , because I took my time to come up . There will be plenty of golf to play , so take the time , and get your self ready . Happy Swinging
I want to agree with this, but I can also see other points of view.
IMO, I think WGT might have done things this way to level the field a little. If someone is talented enough to reach Legend so soon, they should be talented enough to hold their own as Legend. Will it be tough? Absolutely!!! Does it discourage really good players from continuing? Perhaps. I have seen several "skyrocket" accounts go virtually dead in these situations.
And then there is the "unspeakable" reason. Multiaccounters and the like. Someone joins up, figures out the game, and then rejoins with a new profile, and they can now proceed with their goal, be it to reach Tour Legend faster than everyone else (Look at me!!!), or to clean up on Ready Go's, or whatever.
IMO, Legend is the great equalizer. I had to trade my awesome L41 R11s and L48 R1 driver for clubs with less forgiveness just to gain about 10yds for those few holes that are difficult to reach now, and wait for L94 and 95 to be eligible to grab clubs like my previous ones but with that extra bit of yardage. It can be tough somedays, as I am not consistent at hitting the ding (quite bad actually, lol). But, each time I feel I have figured out how to play well, a new challenge has been presented, be it faster greens, tees further back, or new equipment that demands better skill from me.
It sucks, yes. But, it is also the greatest challenge I have faced.
